THE DRESS COAT.
Some of the Reasons for Popularity
of Shape.

Every part of the despised dress coat
has reason for its popularity of
shape. The apparent foolish nick or
slit at the junction of the collar and
facings on each side dates from the
time when men rode a good deal, and
the coat collar must be frequently
turned up and the chest buttoned closely
over to meet the severity of sudden
storms. A division was made on each
side of the collar to permit this to be
done, and the present useless slit is the
survival of this very needful predeces-
sor. Not even the buttons which adorn
the small of ones back are mere vain
ornaments. In about the year 100 it
began to be the custom to gather in at
the waist the sack-like coat OF the Pc
Rod.
This was done by two buttons sewn on
over the hips, which were attached to
loops set on at the edge of the coat
Then, as waists became a permanent
fashion, the loops were disused, and the
buttons, instead of being discarded,
were simply moved a little farther
back; here they attained to new use
fulness in supporting the sword belt.
Now that sword belts are no longer
worn, these two buttons seem merely a
meaningless eXcrescence.
The very shape of the dress coat
which has been so much and so often
ridiculed is not an arbitrary fashion,
but natural development. Starting
from the ample square-skirted coat of
the close of the seventeenth century
itself Development, we must next find
the same coat with the corners of the
skirts buttoned together for the con-
venience of riding; then the same gar
ment with the lap-corners cut off in
stead of buttoned up-the swallow tail
of the early years of the present
century; finally by very slight degen-
Grafton the modern dress coat was pro-
duced.-Cork Herald.

BURGLARS TOOLS.
How the Shrewd Rascals SECURE
Nefarious Implements.

P.J. jennings, an East Side engineer
and mechinist, tells an interesting story
about his dealings with a burglar. He
was sitting in his Office one day few
months ago when two men entered
with design they wanted made of
steel. He took the job, and turned it
out according to order. The men came
the next day, and after chatting
pleasantly about the Doodle aldermen
| and other matters of popular interest in
the city, paid their bill and went away.
Several other designs were brought him
by the two men and he got to know
them quite well. He did not know their
business, however, but it is such COM
mon thing to deal with men whom one
knows only by sight that Mr.. Jennings
never bothered his head about it. But
he found out who the men were after all.
One day they called to have him make
half dozen eight-inch steel screws. He
promised them for o'clock, but the
men did not come. He did not see them
on the next day or the next. On the
third day one of Pinkerton's detectives
dropped in upon him in the afternoon,
carrying a hand-satchel. He opened
~ ouo tA1CH q 1OG VI CuTlOuS1y SQdp6Q
pieces of steel on the table.
Were these made in your shop, Mr..
Jennings?' casually remarked the de-
tective.
Yes, that's our work"
"Who did you make them fort"
Now you've got me-it's more than
can tell. l never had any reason to
inquire, and the men didn't bother
about telling me-"
But you are sure you made the steel
work here2"
Yes, oh, yes; I'm sure enough of
that"
Two days later Mr.. Jennings was
subp@naed by the prosecution as a wit
ness against two men who had at
tempted to crack the safe in q bank in
EllenVille, Ulster County. He met a
Harlem machinist and an ironworker
from down town at the courthouse in
Kingston. Pinkerton's men opened
wide their eyes when he took the pieces
of steel that each had shaped, and put
ting them together, showed what per-
feet sectional jimmy they made.-Troy

EATEN BY SHARKS.
Terrific But Vain Fight of a Mail
Carrier With Man Eaters.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla October 26, 1887.
The dread of the mail carriers on the
Florida southeast coast are the Hills
boro and New River inlets, which have
to be crossed by small boats. Here the
dark waters of the Everglades empty
into the Atlantic with tremendous force
at this season, and if the ocean is rough
the meeting of the cross currents pro-
duces heavy and dangerous seas. Sharks
of the fiercest kind I'LL the inlets.
James Z Hamilton, the mail carrier
| from Miami TO Lake Worth, was an
athletic young man and carried the
light mail on his shoulders, walking the
entire distance, seventy-fve miles, on
the beach. He left Lake Worth on
Tuesday, in the morning. and should
have reached Refuge Station, twenty
i've miles distant, that afternoon.
Late at night a fisherman named
Waring came to the station and told the
story of Hamllton's horrible death.
Warning was about one-han mile from
Hillsboro Inlet when he saw Hamilton
get into his boat to cross. He noticed
that the sharks were about in unusual
numbers, and just as Hamilton reached
the centre of the crossing a huge one
drove at the boat and bit piece off the
gunwale-
FIGH TING THE SHARKS.
Hamilton struck at the sharks, but
nothing could drive them off Soon
both oars were bitten in two, and then
the fierce tigers of the sea seemed per-
fectly ravenous. They tore at the boat,
snapped at one another, and the water
for yalds around was dyed with their
blood. The boat began to fill, and the
sharks, seeming their prey, redoubled
their dashes.
Hamilton stood on the middle seat as
il stupefed glaring at them. Looking
up and seeing Waring, he cried out to
him, but in vain. Even as he shouted
huge shark dashed up and hit the parti-
ally filed boat a tremendous blow,
throwing Hamilton out into the midst
of the monsters.
DEvoURED.
A cry of agony was heard as he went
down, and the devourers had him piece
meal before the horror-stricken specta-
tor could take in the full measure of the
tragedy. AS soon as Warning recovered
his senses he went to the station and
told of the affair. A searching party
went out at once, but nothing was
found save the remnants of the boat
cast on the shore.
The terrific catastrophe has cast
deep gloom over the coast people, and
no one has yet accepted the position of
mail carrier over that route.-New York
